Cab height

[GeorgeLeonard]

I took the truck for a little cruise up and down the driveway today. The engine runs very well and the brakes stop the truck when called upon. This was my first opportunity to use the clutch and brake pedals and while they seemed to work as intended, I was a little disappointed at the scraping sounds they made as I pushed them in and out. The tops of the pedal rods are touching the tops of the holes that are in the floor- the ones made for this purpose. The screeching sounds as if I am torturing the poor truck.

Now my first inclination was to make the holes a little larger and thereby fix the problem. But after some thought, it occurred to me that there was no good reason that both holes should need enlarging unless there was some other problem that needed correcting. Im guessing that the body mounts may be deteriorated and consequently the the cab is riding a little too close to the frame- hence the pedal rods are no longer centered in their holes. Has anyone ever run into this? Does my theory make sense? Will replacement of the body mounts increase the space between the cab and the frame? Alternatively, is shimming an alternative? What would you do?
